Back of the envelope math, if anyone wants to correct my mental model: 2.1B (mincore)/week ~ 300M (mincore)/day. Assuming ~300k cores (~3k physical server CPUs, seems fine), that's 1k min/day. Seems about right, though obviously not uniformly distributed.
In any case, the number I'm focusing on here is the 300k cores part (x2 if you're counting in vcores). It does not seem like too much to ask for (significantly) more than that at github scale. It doesn't feel like a hardware issue, is what I'm getting at.
- winwang 2mo agoI decided to ask chatgpt for a fermi estimate of cores/datacenter, which you can check for yourself: 1~10 million physical cores. The surprising part of this for me was the "low" power usage (it used 20MW/"datacenter" as another point for estimation). 1MW ~ 6700 NYC citizens' residential usage, apparently, lol. I don't know exactly why, but that citizen number seemed a surprisingly large (well, probably because I've played with approximately-MW lasers).
